I worked late tonight and on the way home I stopped at Aldi for a few items. The place was mobbed and the place looked like a war zone. Thankfully they had what I was looking for. But if I wanted Toilet paper, paper towels, tissue etc. they were all gone. The manager was on tonight and I asked her about it. She said they have it covered with a big shipment overnight for most of the items. She was laughing about the crowds saying well my numbers for this and next week will look awesome. She like me doesn't understand the panic to this extent. Sure stock up but really wipe the place clean. My teenage daughters are feeling the brunt of the cancellations of school events. My oldest was suppose to have a field trip to Fermi Lab in Batavia, IL and she was really looking forward to it. This Saturday is Science Olympia at Community College and that also was cancelled. Better safe then sorry. I told her we can schedule a trip ourselves to Fermi Lab in the summer but she has been working for several months on her Science Olympia project and is bummed. Don't know if it will go on this school year.
Peace and please wash your hands.
